Deliveries usually take 5 working days to arrive from AG. They arrived at the factory on the 8th July and may not have left on the same day. High Wycombe will call when they have arrived.

Had mine fitted on Friday just gone... Have to say it is a pleasant surprise... i wasnt expecting the ugrade to work as well as it does, the amp suits the speakers very well.

Bags of high end, the mid is quite punchy but low level bass comes out of nowhere??

Well Chuffed

Thanks Anneka and Synter!

Waiting for a call from high wycombe to fit foam inserts as wind noise is quite annoying.

I'm really sorry doc_ab, I thought you were going to call in. They are in stock and will only take 5 minutes, are you okay to go in tomorrow? I'll let Cameron know to be expecting you.

still waiting is a bit of a mistruth tbh..

it went in on saturday and the job didn't get finished, so sunningdale have given me a car for a week while i'm away working..

i have been very impressed with them to be honest, no fee for the car, and they are sorting out the removal and shipping of my interior trim for what seems like FOC (although i offered to pay) so that i can get it wrapped and reinstalled while the car is 'off the road'

think i just found my new dealer

[225_AB]

Sorry anneka, thought I had to ring first, so rang Cameron twice and left messages. Might be able to get in tomorrow pm but won't know till the morning. Could definitely get in Thursday pm, would that be best?
Thanks for your help.

[Anneka @ Sytner]

Which ever is best for you, I'll let Cameron know that you'll be in either tomorrow or on Thursday afternoon, when ever you're free just drop in and he'll get one of the technicians to slip them in.

Got mine fitted by Sunningdale today. I was a bit concerned when I hurtled down the M3 that they had not used the foam inserts. However I discovered that the apparent gale blowing through the tweeter was actually coming from the vent on top of the dash near the "A" pillar and bouncing off the front of the tweeter. So far no breeze and no wind noise.

I'm very impressed with the improvement in sound quality and for me it's transformed the car. Also love the way that you can see the new silver door speakers shining through the grill.

I was also very impressed with the level of service at Sytner Sunningdale where I was treated like a king by Diane despite looking like a tramp. (I was up half the night due to work and didn’t get a shower)

I got the car back washed and vacuumed so would thoroughly recommend them. They'll be getting my M3 order.

Thanks for sorting this out Anneka you’re a star.

LOL That's what I thought.

They started it at 14:30 and I told them I definitely needed the car by 17:30 to get home. "No problem" they said "by strange coincidence we did one of these on Saturday"

They didn't tell me that they didn't manage to finish it or I would have been most concerned!!!!

It's worth the wait though and I think that you will be well impressed.

Finally got my car back yesterday from Sunningdale. Have to say at first I was a bit non-plussed, but after a few miles of listening I am really warming to it and think it is a very significant improvement over the standard unit.

I actually found that turning the base and treble down a little to the central position seemed to optimise the sound quality at moderate volume. Anyone else found an optimum setting in this regard?

Have to say that the Alpine branded tweeters make a nice addition to the car visually - subtle enough to prevent accusations of chavness but enough of a statement to hint at the upgrade you've spent a significant chunk of cash on. A nice selling point at sell on time too.

Also had 3 wheels refurbished by Sunningdale, they seem to have done a good job on them - they weren't terrible before but look perfect now.

Thanks Anneka for your help on this deal - much appreciated. If you could get Sytner to open a dealership in South London now that would be great!

Yes totally agree with you... i turned Bass down to approx one third of total volume and treble up to about two thirds of the way up. This give just enough bass and mid without distortion for most type of music.

If you would like to participate in the group buy please add your name to the list, I will need to know:

No mate.

It's front speakers/tweeters only in the kit, along with the amp, wires and presumeably tweeter housing plastics (if you or your dealer remembered to order them)

Matt

[Anneka @ Sytner]

@Matt, wow that was fast response!

[RagingKileak]

Guess I was just passing lol... It doesn't hurt that I fitted my Alpine kit with my own two bleeding hands lol!!! Nightmare job!!

Matt

[Em135eye]

Still interested in this as parts only - no Sytners anywhere near us so would get a pro to fit it. If I tried, I'd break it.

[The_Bear_Yid]

Any way of finding out the specs of the speakers?

I only ever hear of the upgrade and the price but never what you get. I know what you get now, just need to know the spec.

Also if my stereo has 'Professional' on it does that mean the upgrade cannot be done?

Plus can anyone point me in the direction of the spec of the standard set up and whether I have the subs under the seats?
